Solitary Poplar - painting a day

"Solitary Poplar" oil on canvas, 5x7 in.

I spent last weekend up at Tahoe chasing down the fall color (Thanks to Ed and Andy for suggesting good locations!). The contrast of the aspens, poplar and willows against the conifers was fantastic. I have several paintings I'm happy with, and some that need some adjustment, but none that I'm ready to chuck, so that's a good thing. I'll be posting them as they dry a bit more. I mostly painted 11x14 panels, but I did do this one little painting of a poplar along Blackwood canyon.
